adam, i would jump on that like a fat kid on cake

 

A fat kid would NEVER jump on a cake. That would ruin it.

 

The Wife unit has taken control of the mood lighting color. She sets it and changes it and sets it again and changes it some more. I figure she does that because I have not allowed her to drive Romi.

I cannot bring myself to being ok with someone else driving Romi. The Wife unit is a wonderful bag of soggy water, but she has not driven a standard transmission in 35 years and if she ground Romi's gears, I am afraid of what I might do or say.

I keep telling her, it's for her own good and the good of our marriage that she never drives Romi.

 

My wife has driven Mystic once. I wasn't with her and never will be when she does. I hide. But, she knows how to drive a stick (I was gonna edit that, but for those of you lioke double entendre, oh well) and she bought me the car. Soooooo........

 

I agree totally....and yet (especially with daylight savings) I still try to fnd excuses to motor when it's dark. It's just a subtle tweak...added to the rest of the subtle tweaks...which equals .

 

It is. But I wish there was more of it. (Reminds me of Woody Allen's line about life, using the chinese restaurant analogy: "The food is lousy and the portions are too small").

 

Blue for me too. Lights up the arm rests better. . .

 

I'm purple, but that's only for the tiny dots on the ceiling. The side persist as blue, unfortunately...

 

daff, you certainly have your share of "anamolies".

BTW, are those dots supposed to illuminate anything, or are they just supposed to be dots?

 

Funny...those dots seem to follow me all over the place...day or night? Is that an option?

 

Orange so far, just because it feels weird having the ambient light be a different color than the instruments.

 

do you have the daytime running lights turned on? if so, you're always gonna have the dots, I do.

and mine are blue or violet. mostly because you can see 'em better, but I like the magenta a whole bunch.

 

I keep them orange or blue depending on mood. when the gf is in the car we play dance music while we are going out and she changes it with the beat all dance club like. remember "They Might Be Giants" The turned the car into a nightclub. Might have to do that much more she just got a mercedes.

 

I mean I don't even have to be in the car and I'm still seeing dots.....everywhere!

 

blue is my color

 

BLUE for me too

 

I had to check... Blue here, but by accident. They couldn't have put in a less useful feature. Now if they were brighter the wow factor would climb, but as is, they are a forgetable item in my opinion.

sadly there's no panel on the euro cars overhead - that's only on the MCS! god, we get screwed here in britain over the little things!

 

I wondered about that too. If it were brighter would it be too distracting?? Maybe. The biggest use of this feature is probably helping passengers find the door release...my '03 didn't have any lighting there and folks were constantly fishing about to find the handle.

 

SNAP....are you serious? You mean you don't have any switches over the rear view mirror? That's cracked!

 

the standard is orange in bmw too... so i ll go for the orange

 

You do know the brightness adjusts with the dash lights but even on the brightest setting your not going to light up the car if that's what your after.

 

so put some LED's in. trust me it is plenty bright and almost any color you can think of

 

Please dont rice it

 

Blue. I wish I could change my dash lights too.
